“Vimonluck was such a breathe of fresh air and gave me so much peace of mind when watching Hershey! She provided updates, pictures, and videos. Hershey was living her best life playing my hide and seek with Vimonluck’s dog Miso! I’d definitely recommend and rebook with Vimonluck on future occasions. Thank you so much!”
“Amazing communication!!! Toby was so happy being with Alexia, she had other pups for him to play with too and he LOVED that!!! Her son also helped take care of him, he took him on walks and everything!! Nothing but great care from the whole family, I highly recommend🥰”
“This was my first time using a doggy sitter service for my Doxie baby! I don’t know who was more nervous- me or Honey, but I couldn’t have asked for a better person to watch my baby. She kept me updated regularly, even though I didn’t even have to ask. She asked questions., but most of all she just loved her! She took her everywhere. She even got her toy when apparently my dog grabbed it out of her hand at the store. 😂 ( I gave her permission to take her wherever she went because she loves car rides! ❤️) ; the pictures showed just how happy my baby was in her home. If you need someone to watch your pup, I highly recommend her!”
“I actually got recommended to Cheri through a friend! Truly the best in the business. I live in Waco and would drive hours to get to this woman, if I had to! I felt so beyond safe leaving my little bunny rabbit, Sefid, with her and am wary, typically, to allow anyone to watch her! She treated Sefid like her own so much so, that I was having a hard time getting her ready to leave! Thank you again, Cheri ? You’re stuck with me!”
“Amanda was very patient with my super nervous dog since he hadn’t been away from home in a while. She left me at ease by sending me pics and providing updates and I will definitely be booking with her again! Thank you Amanda.”
“Lacy was very responsive and dependably. I made my reservation months in advance and she held the spots for my pups. We were traveling from 3 hours away. Thank you for bringing trustworthy.”
“As always 5 stars and beyond. Diana and her family never disappoint and my Roscoe loves visiting. He always is ready to visit when the time comes. You’re missing out if you haven’t had a chance to use their services.”
“Amanda is wonderful. This is our second booking with her. She makes our dog feel right at home. She is very accommodating and she frequently updates you on how the dogs are doing. She is the best. Definitely recommend.”
“I had such a wonderful experience with this family as first-time dog sitters for my fur baby, Mylo! 🐾❤️ From the very beginning, I had a good feeling about leaving him in their care, and they did not disappoint. I’m grateful to have found a family that cared for Mylo so well\. I would definitely recommend them and will happily use them again. The photos that were sent was proof that my baby boy w havinga good time.”
About: I have experience with dogs of all ages, including puppies who need patience, consistency, and reinforcement of basic training, as well as senior dogs who require extra attention, medication management, and gentle care. My goal is to give pet parents peace of mind knowing their furry family member is receiving personalized attention, plenty of affection, exercise, and companionship throughout their stay. Your dog's happiness, safety, and well-being are always my top priorities. 🐾 Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I enjoy spending time outdoors and make sure pets get plenty of exercise, fresh air, and attention throughout the day. Whether it's morning walks, playtime in the yard, potty breaks, or evening strolls, I structure my schedule to ensure pets receive consistent care and companionship. I have individual climate-controlled kennels in a secure, fenced yard, providing a comfortable and safe environment for every dog. Each dog receives personalized care based on their temperament and needs, with options for both individual playtime and supervised group socialization.
“We had a wonderful experience with Teresa while we were away for 3 nights. Communication was excellent throughout our trip, and it was clear that our fur baby was well cared for and loved. Hatchie had a great time and even made some new friends! We appreciated the updates and the peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands. Thank you for taking such great care of Hatchie—we would definitely recommend Teresa and look forward to using her services again! 🐾💕”
About: With over 20 years of experience caring for dogs, I bring more than just pet sitting—I bring genuine love, patience, and a deep understanding of canine behavior. Dogs in my care enjoy a safe, comfortable, home-like environment where they can relax, play, and feel like part of the family. I specialize in dog training and behavior and have experience raising puppies, caring for senior dogs, and working with trained service dogs. I understand that every dog has different needs, routines, personalities, and comfort levels. Your peace of mind matters too. I provide regular photo updates, check-in calls, and FaceTime when requested, so you can see your dog, stay connected, and feel confident they’re being well cared for while you’re away. My goal is simple: treat your dog like family and give you the peace of mind that they’re in good hands. As a retired Army veteran who works from home, pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I have the flexibility to give pets consistent attention throughout the day rather than leaving them alone for long periods. My routine includes regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding, training, and plenty of companionship. I also make time to monitor each dog’s behavior and comfort level, especially with puppies, seniors, and dogs with specific routines or needs. Because I work from home, I’m able to provide a calm, home-like environment with frequent supervision and individualized care. I treat every dog in my home like family and make their safety, comfort, and happiness a priority. Safety, trust, and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, clean, dog-friendly home environment where pets can feel comfortable and secure. Dogs receive plenty of supervision, attention, playtime, walks, and affection throughout the day rather than being left alone for extended periods. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, medications when appropriate, exercise, training, and special care instructions. I’m especially comfortable caring for puppies, senior dogs, and dogs with specific behavioral or training needs. I also understand how important it is for owners to feel connected while they’re away. I provide regular photo updates and am happy to offer check-in calls or FaceTime so you can see how your pet is doing. Whether your pet stays in my home or I care for them in yours, my goal is to create a safe, respectful, and stress-free experience for both you and your pet.
“Lisa was so nice, welcoming and flexible. Not just her but her hubby and 3 dogs plus cat. I had an international trip that was planned and my original dog-sitter had a family emergency and had to cancel. Lisa stepped in last minute w/no issues. She opened her home for a meet/greet w/her dogs and hubby. I was allowed to look around and Luna was allowed to sniff and feel her way both inside and outside. She has a big yard for much olay time and open layout. My Punta Cana trip was then extended by 4 days due to weather and Lisa did not blink an eye on keeping Luna for an additional 4 days. Not only that but our flight then was delayed 4 additional times on our updated flight and once again, she was very nice and understanding. For myself, I was frustrated and didn't want her to feel unpleasant about it but she gave me the opposite feeling. Please book her. She's a definite recommendation. Her and her family (all) are very welcoming and dog friendly. She welcomed Luna back and I'm glad for that. Luna made a friend with her little one Teddy.”
“I can tell that Axle had the most amazing time with this very sweet and special couple. They loved him like he was their own and I even felt like he was bored when I excitedly got him back home to our routine. He loved being there that much!”
“I would definitely recommend using Vanessa. She communicated effectively while babysitting my puppy for a week and she sent photos to keep me updated on my puppy.”
“Mary was a great sitter! She really took care of my dogs while they were staying at her house. One of them kept escaping her crate and Mary let her use her own crate while they were staying at her house. Huge yard for the dogs to go run around, great environment.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Mertens home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Mertens.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Mertens sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in TX ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
